Siemens 6ES5470-8MB12 Programmable Logic Controller Module

Siemens 6ES5470-8MB12 is a two-channel analog output module for SIMATIC S5 systems, delivering two isolated current outputs in the ±20 mA range for use with S5-90U, S5-95U, S5-100U, ET 100U, and ET 200U installations, enabling precise control of external actuators and processes. Also cataloged as 6ES5470-8MB12 or 6ES54708MB12, the module belongs to the Analog Output 470 family and measures roughly 100 mm long by 45 mm wide by 135 mm high, weighing about 0.296 kg, with mounting and connector geometry compatible with standard S5 peripheral racks. Discontinued according to distributor catalogs, with a product lifecycle status dating back to October 1, 2004, which means many current procurement sources position it as a repair or surplus item rather than a new production part. Typical applications include retrofitting older S5 control loops that require isolated ±20 mA current outputs to drive actuators or indicating equipment status via analog signals, offering compatibility with ET 100U and ET 200U peripheral units that preceded modern SIMATIC S7 deployments.
